love this lady

I had so much fun at this session.  This lovely lady is one of my dear friends that I look up to and admire.  Being able to take pictures of her cute little, and I mean little, baby bump was such a blessing because I'm honored to be a part of such a fun time in her life!  I truly feel that way about all of my pregnant mamas. :) 

The lighting was beautiful, their outfits were perfect and the weather was amazing.  I found a new spot that I really liked and the stars were in a line!  I love being around Kelli...I want to be a better person when I'm with her and I LOVE how these pictures turned out.  I really tried to convey her kind, soft, and sweet personality in each one of these!  Thanks Kelli for a fun adventure:)  We were worried we might not be able to do them since she had been contracting for a while, but thankfully everything worked out....and I can't wait to meet your little one:)

We only had one little hiccup.  When we were doing a clothing change at the car in the middle of the session, we made the mistake of leaving my camera bag and a bag of her accessories on the trail where we were...When we were walking back to our stuff, a group of teenagers, guys and girls, were vandalizing our stuff!  I couldn't believe it...I started running towards them yelling at them to get away.  They were throwing things and trying to break stuff and then they started running when I got a little closer.  Thankfully, they hadn't gotten to my camera bag, which had a len and my wallet...I'm such an idiot!...but they got to Kelli's bag.  Thankfully nothing was stolen and only a little hand mirror was broken.  I couldn't believe it...we were so shooken up.  I'm so glad that nothing was missing or damaged....I definitely learned my lesson to always keep everything with me at all times, I just get too trusting sometimes...It makes me sad that I have to worry so now.  Even with the drama, we were still able to put our game (photo) faces on and get some amazing shots! 

This last one is right after we got vandalized by those stinky teenagers:(

9 months already?

I just couldn't resist posting my little guy on this here bloggity blog.  I just want to eat him up.  I was just playing around with my oh-so-empty dining room with some different set ups...Also playing around in photoshop with different black and white techniques....I LOVE these pics...so yummy:)

I love my pregnant mamas!  Thank you for having babies so that I can live vicariously through you.  I heart being prego and secretly wish I was again!  I must be crazy or something:)  I had to add this one shot of Nancy because she is just too stunning for words! 

Miss Nancy

This beauty was so fun to work with.  She came with lots of props and ideas and it was great!  I always love when my clients have specific ideas in mind because the session will be that more unique and fun!  Miss Nancy is a teacher, so it was fun incorperating books and a chalkboard!  I had a great time with her and her husband...and thanks Nancy for being patient with the change of location...I'm glad we did:)  I look forward to meeting your little girl!

Baby Kenna

This little one was quite delicious in all of her sweet chubbiness!  At 3 months, she still gave me some sleepy time, which was a treat.  I can't wait to photograph you again when you are older and cruzin' around!  It was wonderful meetin you, your mommy and auntie:)

John Boy

Okay brother, these are for you!  My brother wanted more senior pics and I was so happy to do them!  He is such a handsome guy and his personality rocks, so it was really fun doing some fun shots!  Hope you like 'em!

Sweet Sadie

This little doll baby was happy and calm asleep and awake!  I was supposed to photograph this beauty at 7 days, but something unexpected happened and I had to reschedule a couple weeks later.  I was a little nervous that she wouldn't be as sleepy and moldable, but she proved me wrong.  Even at 3 weeks, she was a perfect angel for me! Thank goodness for beautiful happy babies to keep me happy and going! :)  I had so much fun with you Brooke and your little Sadie is precious!

Brooke, Sadie's mommy, really wanted to try some watermelon pictures that she saw somewhere.  And I'm so glad that she suggested doing something so different because Miss Sadie rocked it and I LOVE how this pic turned out!  I'll be posting a couple more of these fun shots soon!
